Code::Blocks C++ IDE Crashing On Starting

Hi,

Running Kubuntu 12.04 LTS 64Bit Final.
I installed Code::Blocks C++ IDE using Software Manager.

When I try to run Code::Blocks, it shows choose default compiler window
and crashes after selecting the preferred compiler?

I am a cross-platform game developer and MUST be able to use C::B's on Linux.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jesse

The program 'codeblocks' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 12004 error_code 3 request_code 155 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

this happens due to a bug in oxygen gtk2. Try reinstalling the package( or upgrade or compile and install the latest version from git)
Here is a bug report of its earlier occurance

Hi,

I'm not a ninja master assassin Linux user,
so will hope this will soon be resolved in an OS update.

Please fix it Kubuntu team!

Thanks a lot!
Btw: it's incredible: how Ubuntu can pretend to be an OS for "everybody"?
Also update to ubuntu-12 is messy and very difficult for a "normal" user...

If it's a bug in oxygen gtk2, it should be easy to work around until a fix is available:

Go to System Settings -> Application Appearance -> GTK+ Appearance. Change the Widget style to something other than oxygen-gtk (perhaps qtcurve). Click Apply, and then close System Settings. Then try launching Code::Blocks.

Hope this helps!
